"Hey guys, I’m sure you have heard that I’ve had to postpone several tour dates due to bruised vocal cords. My vocal cords are healing, but they are not all the way back to normal yet, so my doctors want me to continue to rest my voice," he writes in the post. "They have asked me to hold off on singing until next month. I’m really sorry, I want to be back on the stage and I am doing all I can to get there quickly. Thank you for understanding — I see all of your posts and I appreciate the support and the love. I look forward to coming back stronger than I was before. More to come on the rescheduled dates."

Reports of JT's vocal plight first arose in late-October when he canceled dates at New York's Madison Square Garden and KeyBank Center. He has since rescheduled multiple other dates for appearances inTacoma, Washington,Edmonton, andVancouver to February 2019, with new shows to recommence in March 2019.
